          THE SACRED ROAD

The heart sometimes
leaves an easy trail to follow,
like footprints in newly fallen snow.
I know where I have been,
all I need to do
is look at the tracks
left by my heart.

I know so little about us.
No matter how close we sleep,
or how much we talk,
I never really know what is inside,
just behind your dark brown eyes.
I never know where I stand
in your dreams and desires.
I never know how deep
you drink from my heart's well.

In time, I will not question us,
nor worry about the sunrises,
that bring more light to our life.
I have you NOW.
At this very moment,
that is all I can ask.
That is all I ever needed!
